Resource Group Fields

[Michael Brown]

In PS2007, there are several new pre-defined (resource) fields, including
"group", "code", "Cost Center" and "Cost type". We actually do use cost
center within our department. Is there a way to associate a lookup table to
the cost center field? I know I can set up the look up table itself, but
haven't figured out a way (if it's possible at all) to tie this look up field
to one of Microsoft's pre-defined fields as opposed to a custom field I
create.

Michael:

You can certainly setup a value list for Cost Type through the Enterprise
Data interface in Project Server administration. An empty value list is
provisioned in the system and ready for you to populate. It sure seems like
an oversight that Microsoft didn't bestow the same capability on Cost
Center, so it looks like you'll need to go with a new custom field for that
one.

Thanks Gary - that's what i was afraid of. Interesting little quirks we're
